In a recent interview, Jackman has mentioned that it seems things will be moving forward now, presumably because the score has now been vetted! I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes Jackman's movie project for late winter of 2014, given that his stage musical project Houdini is not coming along in time for a spring opening on Broadway. Maybe even ahead of Rocketman?

An inadvertent autocorrection I'm sure.
